First off, this script is total B.S. -- WTF, I live (and work) in New York: Jodie "finds herself in mortal danger so often you'd think New York had reverted to pre-Giuliani anarchy." -- complained one reviewer ('ditto that). Film: "Brave One"
But, put that on shelf, and for two hours this "Death Wish" fantasy flick is a total guilty-fun-time at the movies that plays right to the audience -- seeking 'some dirty "revenge porn."
'best part is watching Jodie act: all at once she is pissed off, scared, and confused; she transforms right before our eyes into this shoot 'em-dead mama you don't want to be next to on any long Subway ride.
